If something happens to Li Wu this time, how will he explain to his wife? And after he leaves office, who will take over the Longwu Army?

"It's okay!" Li Ling stopped his brother and shook his head at him. There was no dead look on Li Wu's brows, so even if she went, nothing would happen.

"Well, okay," Li Ben finally agreed. Even if he didn't agree, Li Wu would probably go secretly.

Originally, he was planning to have someone drug Li Wu so that she would lie down obediently for a few days. Now that he saw that Li Ling had no objection, he relaxed.

"Daddy is the best!" Seeing that her father finally agreed, Li Wu jumped up happily and gave him a bear hug.

"Let go quickly, please break my old bones." His daughter was so strong that Li Ben felt all the bones in his body crackling.

...

Li Ben then appointed two more young captains, both in their twenties.

One of them was surnamed Gao. He was Gao Chongyi, the cousin of Gao Chongwen, a rank official in Huaihua, who was from the Chang'an Jingwei Camp. He also had excellent marksmanship inherited from his ancestors.

Therefore, after the candidate was determined, Su Qinchao took Yuan Ji out of the military camp. He also had to take advantage of the free time in the next few days to visit several county governments to arrest people.

However, thanks to Qi Min's secret letter, he was able to accomplish these things extremely smoothly, except for the time wasted on the road.

It only took two days to get it almost done.

"Let the magistrates of each county fill these vacancies first. I will report to the princess when I return to Chang'an and make further arrangements."

Su Qinchao handed the marked list to Yuan Ji, then slumped in the chair and let out a long sigh.

Finally it was done. He was exhausted after two days. Apart from sleeping, he had been running back and forth between counties without a good rest.

"The Tongpan of Yu County has also been imprisoned. What should we do with him?" Yuan Ji responded, and carefully opened the list to check. He found that not only the county magistrate of Yu County was crossed out, but also the Tongpan and the county lieutenant under him were all crossed out.

"I actually forgot about this!" Su Qinchao slapped his forehead, sat up, took the list and looked at it again.

Later, he discovered that there was an additional candidate for county magistrate in the neighboring Qinglan County, so he asked Yuan Ji to move that person over.

"Yes!"

When everything was settled, it was already three quarters past ten in the evening. The two men hurriedly finished their meal and left the guard of honor behind the Prince Changning's Palace.

He rode his horse and rushed to the Longwu Army camp at lightning speed.

...

The temperature in the Dangxiang territory was much warmer than other places in the Wu Dynasty because it was close to Yunnan.

Although it is already October, the perceived temperature is at least around 20°.

The vegetation in the forest is still lush and dense, with no sign of decadence at all, and there is no feeling that winter is approaching.

Therefore, Su Qinchao and his men simply traveled light, each carrying some dry food and necessities, as well as each other's weapons, and set off.

"Stop!" Su Qin stretched out his hand to stop the people following him, frowning and looking at the two roads in front of him, as if they were very familiar.

They had been circling this area, which was the southwest area that Li Ling had specifically mentioned, for most of the day, but still couldn't get out, as if they were trapped in a ghost wall.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Ji came up and asked.

"Don't you think you've been here before?" Su Qinchao turned around and looked at the people behind him: "Did you find anything?"

"It does look very similar, but we didn't mark it before, so we can't be sure." Li Wu looked around and lowered her voice.

She had heard Li Ling say that the Dangxiang people were skilled in the art of traps, and she now suspected that they had fallen into a trap.
